“We are Legion. One is all, and all is one. Want to know how to defeat us? Simple. Just kill the real us. But, can yous find the real us? Uweheehee.”—Legion

Legion is a boss character in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. He is a masked Berserker working for Eremiya. He has many clones of himself, and he refers to these clones as his brothers. Legion was an orphan raised by Eremiya, and after his death, Eremiya ordered for the disposal of his surviving "brothers" despite Katarina's protests, as she felt they were useless without the original Legion.

Legion has a distinctive speech pattern, and usually refers to himself as "we" instead of "I", in reference to his name and his many brothers.

Legion's English name is a Biblical reference to the exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac (Mark 5:1-20, Luke 8:26-39) where Jesus asks demon's name, and the demon answers, "My name is Legion, for we are many." This itself is a reference to a Roman legion (legio), which consisted of several thousand soldiers.

One explanation for the numerous clones is that they're each individual orphan boys raised by Eremiya but trained to work together like a hive mind, and that "Legion" is simply the leader of them.

It is never clarified how much sentience his clones have, as they sometimes have dialogue, and Katarina considered it immoral for Eremiya to kill Legion's copies.

Legion's clones are infinite, gameplay-wise. No matter how many turns are spent killing the clones, there will still be leftovers after killing the main Legion.

Legion is the only default playable Berserker in Awakening. Additionally, Legion uses the Buff Berserker model when an enemy, but switches to the Skinnier appearance when recruited. A similar oddity occurs with Vaike regarding the Berserker model.

The Berserkers that accompany Legion in his SpotPass battle all share identical skills and stats as Legion referencing the clones in the original game.
